Sack Malthouse now

In the knowledge I will get one or more clowns bagging me for questioning why CFC is actually going backwards i say this:

1. Has our great new generation of club leadership explained why we are actually performing worse each year since losing back to back flags?

2. Should Malthouse walk away tomorrow, he has made huge money out of us. So I wonder who are the real mugs in this football game? Supporters perhaps?

3. Those who say we can't look backwards to our great past, well why not. At least i get some joy out of watching us win and play with passion. I suppose you don't rate Jock McHale either? Yeah why should we value history like that?

4. AFL football for Victorian teams is at its lowest ebb in the history i can remember, and yet I still here people like Lone Ranger saying I have gone senile for even suggesting it. What a wanker! Mr support the decline he is.

5. Thankfully most people like Lone Ranger have no real say in the way anything runs, otherwise our club would continue failing and he would stand there bagging anyone for questioning it.

6. Lone Ranger, one thing is for sure, your views are not worthy of any intelligent audience, so sod off and go talk to any one dumb enough to believe you are a genuine supporter and not some ring in from another club.

This is a very predictable thread indeed. I and plenty of others have expressed opinions on this matter in plenty of related threads before, but nevertheless the thread still returns just like syphilis or anal warts.

I just want to know to whats happened to the sack O'Bree and Lockyer threads this week, or in reality for the past 6 weeks. Are they cured or do the offending microbes hibernate when they are playing well.

Furthermore, if you can't handle a bit of banter, then you're not an experienced Collingwood supporter. We have been dished crap by opposing supporters for many years since 58. It's part of being a Collingwood fan. I'm now living in Perth after moving from Collingwood, Vic. I cop it every day here but still wear my members tie to work every monday. Phark them I say.
Toughen up man cause if the Collingwood tradition continues you're gonna need a thick skin.

My opinion is that the next person to replace Malthouse will be Mick Mcguane.

However I would prefer he gets some experience at the top level before coming to us.

I am also happy to give Malthouse 2 years as I feel we peaked too early in 2002 and effectively shot ourselves in the foot.

The reality is however that Malthouse only has 1 year to secure his future.

A finish outside the 8 in 2006 and I don't think he will remain unless he is willing to take a short-term contract.

Given that I assume he is a pretty proud person I doubt he would accept such terms.

I think all those who want Malthouse gone should try to relax till 2006 is well and truely underway.

He is capable of winning flags, and he will probably do it with another team if it is not us - we really have to time our decisions very carefully.

This thread is boring. We should just sack everyone after that performance on the weekend. Face it - we are Brissy's bit@#es - pure and simple. We have played very well for the past 5-6 weeks, we are allowed to have a bad performance. Every other team does!

All coaches are graded by their Win/Loss record as will MM be.

I would not replace him but I would ask him and the board to be start now and be far more proactive rather than reactive -as they are now.

Blind Freddie could see the Pies skill levels are lower than acceptable - especially under pressure.

The Pies should see that and hire Daicos immediately as it will takes months for this to be rectified across the board.

We definitely also need a better strength and conditioning coach - so that we can bulld better and faster players.

The Pies should also get closer aligned with the Storm and learn how to tackle effectively, efficiently and properly.

Eddie and the boys constantly state they want to be leaders in the AFL clubs in terms of innovation - well show it and hire specialist coaches for the areas we are deficient in.

I think it's interesting that we are perhaps might be missing the big picture. There are 6 victorian clubs in the same or worse position than us. Interstate football clubs are dominating the competition (the AFL will be very happy) and they have several advantages over us. I applaud the bombers for their efforts to make the Telstra dome a unique bomber environmnet for their games there. In soccer clubs share grounds but there is no doubt through the chants etc whose home it is. All you had to do was listen to the crowd on Saturday to know that from3 goals down we had no chance. If we want the club to move forward we need to use our voices, be creative and give our boys a chance to compete on an even level. I would rather be in our shoes than all other Victoriian clubs financially and media wise, our list is bare but no worse then Essendons. Perhaps our problem is indicative of Victorian football not collingwood football.
